Description

Westcott revisits the past to make it better in the present. The brand introduces the Ice Light 3 Bi-Color LED Tube Light as part of its legacy Ice series, which brought tube-shaped lights to the LED market. The Ice Light 3 arrives with improved performance while maintaining the light quality and portability the Ice series became known for. More powerful than its predecessors, the Ice Light 3 packs advanced features with bi-color punch, onboard and app control, and more varied and versatile power and mounting options than ever. Whether you're capturing portraits, products, videos, or live productions, the Ice Light 3 is the answer for complete creative control. Thanks to AC power compatibility, this kit is ideal for those working in studios or sets, but additional battery options, such as a battery grip, are available separately. The Ice Light 3 has a 1.5' long body that enables photographers and filmmakers to create anywhere they go, mounted or handheld.

It's Time to Make a Comeback
Appreciated by image creators from diverse backgrounds, the Westcott Ice series was developed by Jerry Ghionis, a renowned wedding and portrait photographer who thought of the best way to give on-the-go shooters a simple, intuitive, and reliable way to light up their on-location productions. The original Ice Light and the following Ice Light 2 were used by photographers and videographers for portraits, weddings, product shots, interviews, video performances, and many other on-location or studio setups. With the Ice Light 3, it will be no different. But this time, it has been developed to offer a natural bi-color punch with more capability than its previous versions.
Bi-Color Adjustability
Designed with a bi-color output only, this version of the Ice Light 3 has a CCT that's variable from 2700 to 6500K to match any environment. Fine-tune dimming from 0 to 100% is available to take you exactly where needed in terms of intensity.
Studio-Quality Lighting
Achieve a soft output without giving up brightness. The Ice Light 3 has a flattering quality of light with up to 600 lux at 3.3' to cover various video and photo scenarios. Like its predecessor, the Ice Light 3's LED technology makes it virtually heat-free, so you can hold it close to your subject if necessary. The fixture's seamless diffusion helps eliminate LED hotspots, creating soft lighting that enhances skin tones and provides a natural-looking light. Numbers are needed to demonstrate the Ice Light 3 color accuracy. CRI, TLCI, and SSI ratings of 98, 99, and 87 are known indicators of faithful color rendering, and they exceed the numbers of the previous Ice Light 2.
Creative FX
The Ice Light 3 in bi-color features a built-in FX mode for 13 customizable lighting effects, including the popular fire, lightning, TV, strobe, and others. It also includes industry-standard CCT gels. These practical effects and gels allow you to emulate specific looks that can otherwise be difficult to recreate.
Weddings & Much More
Fully controllable lighting for both photo and video creation is what this LED tube offers. Think of weddings, portraits, product photography, run-and-gun filmmaking, mobile creators, streaming setups, and many other scenarios. With the Ice Light 3, you can experiment with various creative and professional lighting aspects, including light painting. The Ice Light 3 is versatile enough to be used at a wedding, during an interview, or placed in a hidden spot inside a car. It works well as a key, fill, background, or hair light with optional barndoors. Use it indoors for soft lighting or outdoors for filling your images. Its design makes it ideal for holding in the palm of your hand or mounting in tight spaces where bigger fixtures won't fit.
Onboard & App Control
A built-in OLED screen offers a full color display with a simple and intuitive menu, with local buttons providing adjustments to your lighting settings. The free Westcott StudioLink app for iOS and Android also enables control and firmware updates right from your smartphone via Bluetooth. Wireless control unlocks advanced capabilities, such as saving different scenes, grouping multiple Ice Light 3 and L series LEDs, and remote setting adjustments for overhead hair lighting or streaming. Other highlights are the fixture's blackout mode, which has the ability to turn off the display for light painting long exposure applications, and a standby mode that powers off the light while keeping the display active.
AC Power or Optional Battery Grip
This version of the Ice Light 3 can run off the included AC adapter and 16' long USB-C cable right out of the box. Designed for continuous operation, this kit was put together by Westcott for those who need to keep the Ice Light 3 running without interruptions. Users can also opt for a separately available Ice Light 3 battery grip to operate the light in any location, regardless of power availability. Other power options include optional power banks or V-mount batteries for more flexibility, depending on your requirements.
Silent Operation
The fixture is flicker-free up to 4000 fps for high-speed video applications and runs quiet thanks to its passive cooling. This means the Ice Light 3 can be placed in sound-sensitive environments for video recording and live production, such as interviews and streaming setups. Whether handheld, mounted, or stowed out of sight, the Ice Light 3 is a silent, fun, and versatile LED. Plug it in to get uninterrupted runtime in the studio or on set.
9 Integrated Mounting Points
The Ice Light 3 was developed to deliver mounting options that surpass the characteristics of the previous Ice Light 2. From handheld to mounted, the Ice Light 3 integrates seamlessly into any lighting setup by providing nine secure mounting points.
  • A NATO rail provides quick and secure attachment to camera cages, knuckles, and rigging gear
  • Two 1/4"-20 threads are located on both ends of the fixture, and four are placed on the spine of the light for mounting on optional tripods and brackets
  • Two anti-twist 3/8"-16 threads are located on the spine of the Ice Light 3 to provide greater stability on optional stands and grip setups
Travel Ready
At only 1 lb, users can create their own kit with two or more Ice Light 3 units without it being a burden to carry around. This particular kit holds a single Ice Light 3 fixture with a 1.5' length (without the optional battery grip), plus an AC power adapter, a 16' long USB-C cable, and a robust case for storage and transportation with safety. The included hard-shell case fits the light and its accessories, featuring a removable shoulder strap and exterior ones for attaching a separately available compact light stand. Carry the case over your shoulder, and you will hardly know it is there.
